311vEY 7,1 X it.4l rl MEILCIAI LIZ TELL 1G EN Ci CI FY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Money is still acively enquired after by mer chints and others, who, in addition to ordinar3 rt quirememts. have now to balance their .tix months' accounts. Tne brokers tire charging 6 per cent. for the negotiation of the best piper, and as this quota- tion is roe minimum at the B-iuk, it is no wonder that the authorities should transact the greater proportion of the business brought forward. There was an influx of £89,000 in gold at the B ink yesterday. The Virginia has arrived from New York with £95,160. _ _ The operations in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days have been very restricted. Sugars have barely sustained former rates. Tea has been duli, while in coffee, rice, fruit, and species the dealing have been of quite a retail character. Tallow has ben dull and quotations for both present and forward delivery have tended downwards, Tne operations at the Bank of England during the week to Wednesday last have been important, and the alterations in many of the principal items have been very considerable, as will be seen by the following details : Active Circulation .. • . 120,612,925 Increase .• 520,195 Bullion .. 14,197,849 Decrease .. .. • • • • 121,212 Rest .. 3,328,361 Increase 24,9U6 Public Deposits .• .. 10,213,535 Increase .. 925,941 Other Deposits.. .. .. 12,800,244 Decrease .. 251,417 Seven Day and other Bills 460,681 Increase .. 8,0,;4 Government Securities 11,122,267 No alteration.

The discounts have been increased by £3,280,000 ; thi' advances, by £13,200 ; and the notes, by £1.853 300. A duninuti in of £120,000 is exhibited in the cash in hanci, but there has been an augmen *viol) of .0540,000 in the Treasury accounts, and of £844,400 in the current accounts. 'Two O'CLOCK At Paris, this day, according to Mr. R telegram, the Three per Cent. Reotes were 65 83c.

Lancashire and Yorkshire and North Eastern (Berwick) have advanced St. ; Great Eastern, 15a ; Caledonian, Blackwall, Mid-. land, and South Eastern, each £1; Great Western, £1 55.; and Great Northern, £2 10s.

Sir G. GREY hoped the house v7culd agrca with the antel,dment, witica was rather ben -finial than not, being framed to meet the case of the Irish female convicts. The hon. member objected to the amendment because he seemed to think that the failure of the convict to report himself would not make him liable to any other penalty than the revocation of his licence. That was not the case, as the fifth clause would make him liable to a misdemeanour. He objected to the monthly reporting of a convict, because he believed it would act as an absolute bar to convicts, at least in England, obtaining an honest living, After a few words from Mr Ayrton, Mr Moore, and Sir Hugh Cairns, who said that he should vote against the Lords' amendment, on ground that it would interfere with the Irish system, which had worked so well, The house divided, with the following result— For the Lords' amendment B4 Against it .... Majority .... The remaining amendments were then agreed to. GREEK LOAN BILL. On the motion for the , hird reading of this bill, Colonel DUNNE pointed out that, according to the treaty, the dotation to the King of Greece was szly far the period that he might occupy the Creek throne, while in the bill it was made payable for his life, He wished to know whether the other party to the treaty agreed to the payment being for life, or only while King George remained upon the throne. The CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER replied that the Government did not think it wise to grant the dotation at the present time beyond the period of the King's reign. Mr HENNESSY contended that the bill should be in strict accordance with the treaty, and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer hipself had made the same admission the other night. He moved that the bill should be recom mitted, for the purpose of ahering the word " reign" into " ler life." After 531110 discussion, in which it was explained that the recommittal of the bill would lead to no practical result, as the bill could not be extended beyond the terms of the rPsolution on which it was founded, the motion was with drawn, and the bill was read a thit d time and passed. The Local Government Act was read a second time. Tire lnclosure (No 2) Bill passed through committee. The Thames Conservancy Bill was read a third time and passed ; as was also the Lunacy (Scotland) Bill. CRANBOURN-STREET BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr A. SMI CH moved that it be referred to a select com mittee, The committee divi,led— For the amendment.... Against l‘lsjtrity The house tuen went into committee, and immediately • atter the chairman was ordered to report progress. The Local Government Supplemental (No. 2) Bill was read a third time and passed. Toe India Offi,:o Bill was read a second time, as was also the Ecclesiastical Courts and Registries (Ireland) Bill. The Registration of Deeds (Ireland) Bill was read a second time. ihe house adjourned at a quarter past two o'clock. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day, llarket steady.

GREAT FORSL'aY IN 7.7:71 Cr z.—This day Gustave Lhemann and Lucien Flatow were placed at the bar, on remand, before Alderman Gibbons, charged with forging, and in company with Emile Werner, conspiring to defraud Messrs. Le Grand, Twice, and Co., of the City of:London, and 11, Rue Bergeri, of goods and moneys tothe extent of L'.30,000. After some further evidence, the prisoners were com mitted for trial. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—Last Evening, AGRARIAN OUTRAGES IN IRELAND. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE moved that considering the extent to which agrarian outrages prevail in certain counties in Ireland, and the difficulty which exists in ob taining convictions for offences of this description, this house is of opinion thiit the power of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to remit the whole or a portion of the sentences of persons convicted of such crimes should bo exercised with greater care and c rcumspection ; and this house observes with regret that the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland orderedthe release of Michael Duigan, Patrick Durgan, and Patrick Egan, prisoners under sentence for an agrarian offence, con fined in the county gaol of Westmeath, upon grounds which appear to be insufficient. In the county of Westmeath there had been for some time a sort of hidden war carried on against the rights of property and against those who took part in vindicating them. Several of the judges had pointed the attention of the grand juries to the atrocious character of the crimes perpetrated in Westmeath ; they were not sud den outbursts of passion, but the result of a systematic course of outrage, resulting from the mysterious operations of the Ribbon conspiracy. The noble earl then entered into the details of a number of casss in order to show the cha racter of the agrarian crime in this county, and its connec tion with the Ribbon organisation; and he also mentioned several instances in which men who had been convicted and sentenced to long terms of imprisonment or penal servitude had been released by the Lord Lieutenant before the termi nation of their sentences, and allowed to go at large, no doubt to enlist others in the secret society to which • hey be longed. The men to whose case he was how calling atten tion were convicted of a gross agrarian outrage on the p mises of a man named Doolan. He believed it was said, in just - fication of the course whieh the Lord Lieutenant had taken in rernitti g a portion of their sentence, that tnere was a doubt, as to their identity But, so far was that from being the case, that they were identified in the clearest manner by witnes,cs who saw them distinctly and had known them previously. The cause of their release must, therefore, be sougat elsewhere. The ruth was that the Lord Lieutenant had yielded to a memo rial sent to him. He had previously rejected one which was signed by 47 people in a very ulterior grade of life, and be (Lad Donoughmore) should like to know whether Chief Jll6 ice Mendhen, wino teied these men, was then consulted, and if so, what answer be returned. The second memorial was si t e .ed by Mr Bury, a Presbyterian minister, who Was nude stood to enteriain very peculiar views with regard to punishment. And within six days fr m its receipt these in.,n were liberated. He wanted to know whether Chief Just ice Monahan was con, tilted on this occasion. On neither occ,sion was any local inquiry made, nor were any of the magistrat-s or grand jurors of the county consulted, a mat ter of which he thought they had good right to complain. The men having been released, thera was within a few days afterwards a renewal of agrarian outrages in the neigh bourhood. Two out of three men who had been released had previously left the country; and almost immedately the police began to make an inquiry with reference to the perpetrators of these crimes, the third man also disappeared from the neighbourhood, showing clearly his guilty con science. This kind of conduct on the part of his Excellency was like that of Nero, fiddling when Rome was burning. He knew the Lord Lieutenant was a very amiable man; but they required a man of firmness and courage to admi nister the lew in Ireland, His lordship's clemency to Rib. bon conspirators was death to the well disposed. Earl GRANVILLE said that this motion was one of a most unusual character, for it asked their lordships to interfere with the manner in which the Royal preroga tive was administered, and to censure strongly the per son who was now entrusted with the exercise of that prerogative. He was confident that the House would not pass such a resolution unless they were satisfied that there Lad been some gross want of discretion, or some corrupt motive, on the part of the person whose conduct was complained of. He regretted very much the state of Westmeath, which was no doubt very unsatisfactory ; but I it really had nothing to do with the present case, which turned entirely upon a question of identity. Although the prisoners were identified by one witness, they were not identified by others who were present at the same time. An alibi was, mi,reover, set tip, and Chief Justice Monahan in reporting on the case, spoke of it as one of great difficulty, and said that he did not know how ho should have voted it he had been on the jury. That being the case, he could net think that this was an improper case for the exercise of the royal prerogative of mercy. After a few words from the Marquis of WESTMEATH and the Duke of LEINSTER, The Earl o: LEI.I RIM made a vehement attack on the Lord Lieutenant. Lurd CIIELMSTOIGD said that it had not bren made out that the Lord Lieuttrnant had improperly exercised hia discretion in this case, and he theretore trusted that the noble earl would withdraw the motion, The Bari of DONO GLI.AOR,E then withdrew the motion. WINDOW BREAKING IN IRELAND. The Earl of LEITRIM then moved for certain rivers relating to some windows being broken at Eskaragh, alias Esker South, in the pari,l of Mobil!, borough of Mobil, court y of Leitrim, between the 24th and 30 h day of March, 1864. His lordship detained the house nearly a quarter of an hour in detailing the particulars of this case, which he made the medium of another violent attack upon the Earl of Carlisle. He concluded by denouncing the noble earl as a traitor in hi, Queen, his country, and his religion. Earl GE.ANVILLE neolined to defend Earl Carlisle agat such observations. He was ready to give a Fortion of the papers asked tor. The moiion us amended wa , then agreed to. Their lordshipa then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS---Last Evening, Mr TREHERNE called attention to the injury which tte staple trades of Coventry had suffered, and were still suffering, from the operation of the commercial treaty with France—and asked the Governwent whether they would use their influence with the French Government to obtain the same free admission into France of English ribbons and watches as was accorded by that treaty, on the principle of free trade, to French manufactures of a similar description into England. Sir J. PAXTON thought that the retention of a duty upon the impart of ribbons into France was a defect in the commercial treaty with that country, and urged upon the Government the necessity of making representations to the Emperor of the French with the view of inducing him to remit the impost. Mr GIBSON would be glad to see a better market created on the Continent for cheap ribbons manufactured at Coventry. It could not be said, however, that the existing rates of duty on ribbons going into France were exorbitant, though he granted that they steed in the way of trade in the interior sorts; but he was happy to find that during the first five months of the present year there was a considerable increase in the export of British silk rib bons. He did not regard the distress that had prevailed at Coventry as a result of the French treaty, or as that which it was within the power of legislation to remove. Her Majesty's Government would be only too glad to see the same freedom of import existing in France and other countries that we had permitted those countries to enjoy here. Mr NE WDEGATE stated that the depression of the Coventry trade, consequent upon the new commercial ar rangements, had been such as to drive between 11,000 and 12,000 people from the district. He hoped the Govern ment would represent to the Emperor that whereas France had reaped great advantages from that treaty, it was only fair and just to place English silk goods, and particularly ribbons, imported into France upon the same footing as that upon which French goods were received in this country. Tte subject then dropped, and the house soon after went into committee of supply. Mr H. BRUCE moved the remainder of the vote for education, and in doing so entered into a variety of statistics its explanatiln of the distribtvion of the grants, the nuaiber of schools in opera:ion, the pupils attending them, and the general effects produced by the new revised code. A lengthened discussion ensued, in which Mr Adderley, Lord IL Cecil, Sir S. Norihcote, Sir J. Pakington, Lord H. Vane, Sir G. Bowyer, Mr Lowe, Mr Lygoo, and Mr Pugh rook part. and the so..errne.d " Conscience clauses" were sonmitted to considerable criticism, Ultimarely ihe vote was agreed to non con, On the vote of £97,582 for the Department of Seie-nee and Art, Mr A. S tnoved to reduce the amount by £l5 000, the sum required for new buildings ; but upon a ~ivision the ameiAltnent was rejected by 131 to 73. The vote was then agrood to, and the Chairman reported orortess. PENAL SERVITUDE ACTS AMENDMENT BILL, S,r G. GREY explameit the Lords' amendments to this bill, most of which were considered and agreed to. Mr ii.UNT moved that the house should disagree with the nest amendment. The clause, as sent up to the Lords, required that the holder of a licence, when at large, should be rt quired to report himself within three days of his ►rrival at any place to the head of the police, and subse quently once a month. The Lords struck out "once in each /L eath," and left the queetiou whether the Nome- RAILWAY BILLS. Additional evidence was yesterday adduced in favour of the Great Eastern Railway Company's proposed new railways and central city station. Mr. Hawkahaw, C.E,, was examined, and expressed his opinion that the proposed increased facilities for the traffic of the company were essentially required, in consequence more particularly of the increased traffic on the Cambridge section of their system. It had been urged that the extra accommodation required might be adequately supplied by the doubling of the North London line between Hack ney and their city terminus in Liverpool-street, but he (Mr. Hawkshaw) was of opinion that the Lon don and North-Western and North London would require all that accommodation for themselves. The Great Eastern communicated with three counties, had expended £20,000,900, and had constructed 600 miles of railway, and were entitled for the accommodation of their traffic to have these addi tional railways and an independent terminus in London. Mr. Wilkinson then addressed the com mittee against the bill for the inhabitants of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch,and the committee adjourned. The Elrl of Lucian was under examination all day relative to the general and financial position of the Midland Great Western of Ireland Railway, of which he is the chairman. la Mr. Massey's com mittee the bills considered and passed included the Helston and Penryn Railway, Ardrossan Harbour, New Brighton Pier, and Fleetwood Docks. I❑ Earl I)avon's committee the case of the Midland Railway Company's proposed extension between Chesterfield and Sheffield was argued by Mr. Hope Scott, Q C., and witnesses were examined by Mr Venables and Mr Cripps, Mr Denison and Mr Pal ;ock opposing for the Manchester, Sheffield, end Linculnshire. The bills passed in Lord Redesdaie's committee included the Kingsbridge Railway,M Builington, Marples, Oawestry and New ion Railway arrangement, Corm, Liverpool Central Station, Alford and Mablethorpe, Cheddar Valley and Yatton, and Somerset and Dorset Railways.

DldsaTyrtE night, lN CASE OF DEATH BY FIRE,—.On Tes eight and nine o'clock, a deplorable cause of death by fire occurred in the Borough to Tuesday between _ the wife of Mr John Bec kett, late relieving officer of the West London Union . It a ppears that the unfortunate crea ture, who is not mor e tha n 30 years of age, was alone in the house at the tim e, W ith the exception of her family, consisting of five small children, and having newly taken the premises, she, in the absence of her husband, put the then descending to the lower c p h a i l l t dr o en f stalifeelyhoutoseb,ebde, d g a a n n to put the place in order, taking a lighted candle with her. Her cries having alarmed the police observing the flames through they got into the premises, and toun d the p oor woman i n a comp l ete b laze from head to foot. As P r omptly as possible the fire was there t h the theye n b e basement s g e h m b (. 6 11 11 tr''windows, and extinguished, but the sultzer had ceased to exist. Medical assistacco was called in and other efforts used, but it was kund to be a hopeless case, life having been destroyed by the leartul element. It is supposed (the candlestick being tound on the floor) that she had set it thoughtlessly down and her dress having caught the flame it ignited, and hence the cal-miry. The requisite information has been sent to Mr Payne, the coroner, relative to the unfortunate occur recce. Toe other day, a not very prepossessing looking person, named John Doherty, about 22 years of age, made an application at the Leeds Police-office for the situation of "hangman for the West Riding." Re said ho belonged to Glasgow, and hearing that Leeds had been made an assize town, naturally concluded that a hangman would be wanted, and started off to make a personal appli cation. Ile expressed himself quite able to " scrag'ern," as he termed it, although the only experience he had had was in having seen two persons executed at Glasgow. He was referred to the High Sheriff of the county, THAMES. AN AI.A.BAILA MAN IN TIIOIII3LE.—COWAMDLY As. GAULT.—Hugh Daly, an Irish Yankee sailor, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with violently assaulting Catherine Casey. The prisoner formerly belonged to the late ship Alabama, sunk by the Kearsage, and has been staying the present week in a boarding house in the neighbourhood of Retch& highway, Yesterday he quarrelled with the complainant in a public-house, and struck her a violent blow with his clenched fist on her right eye. It was frightfully blackened and swollen. The police never saw a black eye like it be fore. The complainant would not appear when the pri soner was first brought up yesterday, and the magistrate remanded the case. The assault was clearly made out, and the prisoner, in his defence, said he was provoked. Mr Partridge said the prisoner had committed a most violent and brutal assault on the woman, and fined him £5. In default of payment three months' imprisonment. ROBBERY IN THE LONDON DOCK.—Thomas Ward, aged 52, a labourer, was brought before Mr Partridge charged with stealing llb, of sugar, the property of the London Dock Company, his employers. The prisoner was leaving the dock at the principal gate, when a constable, named Francis Andus, took off his cap and found in it a pound and a half of sugar. It was stated that the prisoner was convicted by Mr Wool rych some time ago for having fourteen ounces of tea in his possession, and sentenced to ten days' imprisonment. The prisoner managed to obtain employment in the dock again unknown to the principal authorities of the establish ment. He was seen by a constable a few weeks ago, who warned him to be very careful, and said he would be closely watched. The prisoner, however, commenced pilfering again. Mr Partridge said the prisoner would obtain no more employment in the docks, and sentenced him to a month's imprisonment and hard labour. MARLBOROUGH STREET. A FRADULENT HORSE TRANSACTION.—CHARGE OF CONSEIRACY AGAINST A HORSE DEALER.—Isaac True man, of 15, South-street, Bethnal-green, horse dealer, was charged before Mr Knox on a warrant with unlawfully conspiring with others not in custody, and obtaining by weans of false pretences a horse, value £3O, from Mr Edmund Berry, with intent to defraud him. Mr Thomas Beard prosecuted. Mr Edmund Berry, fishmonger, 66, Charles-streen, Pentonville, said—On the 30th April last I had a bay geld ing for sale at Aldridge's Repository. It was bought in, not fetching the price set upon it. Several persons asked me the price. A man introduced me to the prisoner, say ing, "Here's a gentleman who will buy your pony." The prisoner said, "I have been your pony, and it's just the thing to suit me to take my wife and child round the park, What is the prices" I said £2O. Prisoner offered me £l9, but I refused. Prisoner then said that if I went with him he thought they could make a bargain, and I went with him into a publichouse at the comer of SL. Martin's-lane. On getting there prisoner said, "I'll give you a pound down as deposit, aid if I approve o f the pony, I will give you, z t 19 on Monday morning." I said I did not like that mode of transacting business, and he then said, "Do ;ou doubt me ? lam a respectable person and a corn chandler in Swan-street, Bethnal-green. I am no judge of horses, although I have several ; but if it were 200 or 300 sacks of flower I could judge of it. I have a private house at Victoria Park." He then paid me the sover.eign, and said he would send his man over for the potty. I said, "Ohno ; my man is here, and he will take it." My man took the pony, and I gave him certain instructions. On the Monday following I neither got my pony back nor the money which he promised, at the same time stating that if the pony was not approved it should be returned. On the Monday I went and saw the prisoner walking up and down in front of a cornchandler's in Swan-street, and he said, on my asking him it' he liked the pony,he did,and that he should not " part." The prisoner said he had to go to the Corn Ex change, that he was not prepared, but would call on Wed nesday and settle. At two on Wednesday I received a letter making an appointment to meet me the same night. I went to the address prisoner gave on the day of the bar gain, and he was not known there, I afterwards saw him, and, he said that things had gone rather hard, and wanted me to take a bill for 21 days, saying, " We transact all our business that way," but, I declined to tyke it or one for seven days. I have neither got my pony or money. By Mr Pater (for the prisoner)—l let the prisoner have the pony because I thought he was a respectable man. I have taken these proceedings to obtain my money and as an example to other persons. Ho told me to do my best or worst, as he did not got his living by paying for things. I never had such a ease before and hope never shall again. Mr Knox—Certain representations were made to you, which were— Mr Berry—The man who introduced the prisoner to me said he was a neighbour, and kept a cornchaudler'E shop, as also did the prisoner. A young man in the employ of Mr. Berry sail—On going into the publichouse where my master and the prisoner were, the prisoner told him I was not wanted. My master told me to take the pony with the prisoner, who kept a corn chandler's shop in Swan-street. Prisoner told me to go on, and he would follow in a cab. We stoppod at the corner of the street, and a man like an ostler came running up. The man asked the prisoner it he should clean the pony, and he said " Yes." I asked the man if the prisoner was his master, and he said he was, and that he kept 20 horses and carts, an,l let them out. I then let the pony go. Mr Edward Reed, lately horsekeeper, of Church• street, proved buying a pony of the prisoner on the Tuesday after. By Mr Pater—Prisoner sells corn and flour on commis- sion for his father- n-law, who lives in Swan-street. By Mr Beard—L am the nephew of the prisoner's father • in-law. Prisoner attends fairs and buys horses. I have never known him to be in trouble during the last six or seven years. I have never known him to be charged with any offence. I don't know that he was committed from the Worship .street Police Court and tried at the sessions. Sergeant Evans, 22 U—l took the prisoner into custody at Stapleton's Horse Repository, Liverpool-street, City. I have known the prisoner for years. Prisoner never had a corn chandler's shop, nor vans to let for hire. A remand was granted. MARKETS—This Day, MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market today the arrivals of English wheat were small, the trade, however, was by no means active ; nevertheless, prices ruled firm, and at the close of business a fair clearance had been effected. The pupply of foreign wheat on the stands was but mo derate. For all descriptions the trade ruled firm, and Monday's currency was well supported, Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at full quotations. Only a moderate supply of barley was on the stands, and both grinding and distilling qualities changed hands at full currencies. Malt was in fair average request at late rates. The market was well supplied with oats. The trade was less activo than on Monday, nevertheless that day's ad vance in the currency was supported. Beans and peas ruled firm at full quotations. Flour changed hands to a moderate extent at quite pre vious rates: ARRIVALS THIS VIBE. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The following- bills were read a third time and passed : Anthony O'Reilly's Estate, Crieff and Methven Junction and Braneh Railway, Finchley, WeHeade% and Acton Railway, and Londonderry Improvement. JAPAN. E Ili GREY then rose to move the resolutions relative to this subject, which have already appeared in The Sun. The noble earl said he thought the time had arrived when the relations of the country with Japan should be taken earnestly into consideration. and he had ventured to bring forward the foregoing resolutions. They did not imply censure on the Government, not because he approved of their policy—far otherwise. What was already done could not be undone, but he telt that if he could induce their lord ships to come to an expression of their opinion upon the matter by agreeing to his resolutions it would in a great measure tend to diminish the dangers that might possibly arise. (LEFT STEALING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.--This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Independent Gas Company and the Newquay and Cornwall Junction Railway Bills (Lords) were read a third time and passed. PRISONERS IN THE WEST RIDING OF YO RK SHIRE, In reply to Col. SMYTH, Sir G. GREY said that he believed that prisoners com mitted for trial in the North- west Riding were sent to York Castle, but they would now be sent to Leeds, and without any alteration in the charge for their main tenance. OFFICERS IN THE INDIAN ARMY. Capt. JERVIS and Col. SYKES asked a Belies of ques tions as to the substantive rank, promotion, &e., of Indian officers. Sir C. WOOD said that he had no objection to lay on the table any return relative to this subject ; but he did not know exactly what papers were meant. He entered into a lengthened explanation to show that no injustice would be done to Inaian officer 3 in reference to promotion and rank. WINDS AND CURRENTS IN THE MID ATLANTIC. _ _ Sir J. ELPUINSTONE asked the Secretary to the Ad miralty whether the opinion of Vice Admiral Fitzroy, Pre sident of the Meteorological Department of the Board of Trade, had been taken as to the winds and currents which prevail in the mid Atlantic in the months of July, August, and September ; and, if so, whether he would lay that opinion upon the table of the house ; and, whether the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty were aware that the facts set forth in Captain Maury's Trade Wind Chart for the month of August were in every respect opposed to the information given to the house by the noble lord the Secretary to the Admiralty, on the authority of the hydrographer of the navy ? Lord C. PAGET said that the recommendations of Cap tain Maury were in perfect accordance with those of the Government hydrographer. The Government would be happy to lay on the table any papers on the subject, but he declined to produced the report of Admiral Fitzroy, as the Government were quite satisfied with the report of their official hydrographer. PENAL SERVITUDE ACTS BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were brought up and read, and some were agreed to. THE DANO-GERMANIC QUESTION. Lord BURGHLEY asked the First Lord of the Trea sury whether he could explain the statement which appeared in the Times of Tuesday, the 28th of June, to the effect that the President of the Council of the Lower House of Rigsraad, in answer to a question upon the Conference, made the following reply : " The Danish Plenipotentiaries ware instructed to accept the line of demarcation of the Schlei, and to agree to a fortnight's prolongation of the armistice, should England firmly adhere to that line. Earl Russell promised that neither would he make a proposal himselt, nor support the proposal of any other plenipotentiary, which would be less favourable to Denmark, unless Denmark herself should consent to such new proposals. Earl Russell nevertheless proposed, in the sitting of the Conference on the 18th, that the ques tion should be submitted to arbitration, although Denmark did not consent to this proposaL" Sir G. GREY said that as his noble friend the First Lord of the Treasury was absent, he trusted the question would not be pressed at present, but that it would be put on the order for going into Committee of Supply at a later period of the ewning. TERRITORIES OF THE HUDSON BAY COMPANY. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr A. MILLS called attention to the present condition of the territories claimed by the Hudson's Bay Company ; and moved en address for copies of all correspondence which has taken place between the Imperial and Cana dian Governments respecting the western boundaries of Canada, and of any memorials forwarded to the Colonial Office from the inhabitants of the lied River Settlement. Having drawn attention to the vast extent of the territory in question and to some of the territorial points in reference to it, he contended that it should be annexed to Canada, 50 es to make a great colonial chain of British t e rritory. Mr WATKINS expressed his strong disaPP reqla l?a if on of the policy of allowing this vast territory to bo by a mere trading fur company. He said that unless Government took active steps in regard to this territory it Wo u ld dwindle into a mere America se ttlement; but if the British m flag were hoisted over it, it would become ono of ;the most flourishing of British colonies. Mr CARDELL said that booed had for. The subjectwould offer no o bj ec ti on W to the production of the pap ers been referred to a committ ee in 1857, which recommended that the offer of the annexation of the tc itory to Canada provided that co:ony were willing to incur the expense of T i e ee plained the difficulty of dealing with purchasing . • chartered interests that existed tot 200 years, and said that Government 'Would. be only too happy to promote the interests of the territory and the colony. After some remarks from Mr LYALL on the colony of Canada, the m otion was Withdrawn. LUNATIC ASYLUMS (IRELAND). Dlr BLAKE` ,:called the :attention of the Chief Seers. to the necessity which exists for tart' ateending the laws relating to the administration of lunatic for Ireland asylums in Ireland, and for making better provision for the care of imbeciles confined in union workhouses; and in quired whether he would introduce a bill next session to remedy the defects complained of.

Th e Li g h t wa s supplied by a pile on Bunsen's principle, comp ose d o f a b ou t 50 elements, and it succeeded tolerably well, but the employment of the pile was attended with much inconvenience. It was then determined to repeat the attempt with a magneto - electric machine. the new experiments tried at Dunkirk and Ostend had a double object-1, to prove how the light pro duced by the machine would act under water ; and 2, to discover the effect the light would produce on the fish. The first object was completely accomplished, and it is now demonstrated that magneto-electric machines and the light they produce are applicable to all submarine works. In fact, this light was constant at 180 feet under water, and it extended over a large surface. The machine, nevci theless, was placed at a distance of more than 300 feet from the regulator of the electric light. The glass sides of the lantern remained perfectly transparent, and the quantity of coal consumed were less than if it were in the open air. Edith HuWe sailed from Pernambuco on the 29th of February for Liverpool, and has not since been heard of. THE DANO-GERMAN WAR.—Mr. Wyld, on Charing•cress, has just published a very excellent map of the seat of war in Denmark. The proposed boun dary lines of the Danish, German, and neutral powers, are very clearly shown, and the map, therefore, will be found of great service at the present period. by cy, ain tar- !ess vith left qar- en- g at d a s in ibly ving will heir ,cest 764- 1 of dan, wma y in LIICS :or- 0- IS 63 0 14 ..... 5 - 49 11 54 6 12 15 75 4 25 7 61 9 51 .0 94 45 57 A 42 18 8G --- 0- o - o -- .0— 10 - 1u -- )0 -- 1U -- )0 10 14 >7 91 )0 - ZO - 12 23 :684 10 E 4 until from rious couch iver ,o the , he were • her. from clap boat , y M. soap entre Nest ti st room .uuse, and rated is and rld to ietiral 1 and nas,,n, Mt 10
